Episode 16: Sleeping At Last, Grace Requires Nothing of You

I think there are truths which reveal the limitations of human
language. And when this happens we have to rely on artists to
express these great spiritual insights through an alternative
language--like music or film or the visual arts or dance--to say
clearly what the rest of us only feel vaguely. So, when I
heard Ryan O’Neal, otherwise known as Sleeping At Last, was writing
songs from the perspective of each of the Nine Enneagram Types,
well as you can imagine, I was pretty intrigued.

On today’s show, Sleeping At Last joins us to talk about this
intriguing and wonderful series of new music and shares his song
titled, “ONE” from the project, ATLAS: Year Two. You’ll
love hearing not only his music but also hearing his heart which I
think is, well, evidently magnificent.

Sleeping At Last is the moniker of Chicago-based
singer-songwriter, producer and composer, Ryan O’Neal. In
2013, Sleeping At Last began the long-form concept
project, Atlas, which is an ongoing series of new music
(EPs, Singles, etc) to be released over the course of several
years. Atlas: Year
One (30 songs) was completed in early 2014.
Sleeping At Last is currently working on Atlas: Year Two.

Sleeping At Last can be heard frequently on popular TV Shows and
Films such as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part
1, The Fault In Our Stars – Trailer, Grey’s
Anatomy, So You Think You Can Dance, Criminal
Minds, Bones, The Vampire Diaries, J.J. Abrams &
Alfonso Cuaron’s Believe and many
more. (Click here for
